David Coulthard has labelled contemporary F1 the “Max Verstappen era” after the Dutchman secured a fourth-consecutive drivers’ title, in challenging circumstances after Red Bull became a diminished force over course of 2024.

It seems common sense has prevailed given the difficulties over this particular F1 name last season.

Mercedes chief communications officer Bradly Lord has conceded the team could have handled the fallout from the 2021 British Grand Prix “in a different way” after Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen’s massive first lap crash.

In the early 1990s, Williams was building dominant Formula 1 cars, and if it had been up to the Dutch company DAF, they would have been even faster and more dominant, only for the FIA to intervene.

Liberty Media has appointed Derek Chang as its next president and CEO, taking over from Greg Maffei, who announced he was stepping down last November. Chairman John Malone will continue in the role on an interim basis until the start of February.

Jos Verstappen was Michael Schumacher’s team-mate at Benetton in 1994 and built a good relationship with the German.

Lewis Hamilton ended his Mercedes F1 career by being out-performed by George Russell.
